I hadn’t dabbled much in the world of body oil until a friend recommended I try it on my baby bump. So when I happened upon the Bio-Oil Skincare Oil and saw that it promised to reduce the appearance of stretch marks and scars along with helping to even out my skin tone (as per thousands of fie-star reviews), I was interested to see how it would work for me. I was skeptical—I’ve heard stretch marks are genetic—but still slathered body oil all over my baby bump every day while I was pregnant. And thanks to Bio-Oil Skincare Oil or not, I did emerge from nine long months of pregnancy stretch mark-free.
We asked dermatologist Rachel Nazarian, MD, FAAD, to share more insight about Bio-Oil and its benefits. Keep reading to see what happens after using Bio-Oil Skincare Oil, who should use it, and how long it takes to see results,

About the Brand: Bio-Oil is a skincare brand that creates oil-based products designed to treat an array of skin concerns.
The Value: Very affordable
L’Occitane Almond Supple Skin Oil: The almond oil I keep referencing is the L’Occitane Almond Supple Skin Oil. I used it the whole time I was pregnant, and I really loved it, but if the goal is stretch mark prevention (or at least helping to reduce the appearance of stretch marks), the Bio-Oil Skincare Oil is a much more affordable option.
Whether you’re dealing with dry skin, stretch marks, a scar, or you simply want a more even skin tone, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t give the Bio-Oil Skincare Oil a try. It’s affordable, packed with great ingredients, smells great, and might make a difference—even if it takes a while.
First and foremost, Bio-Oil is a vitamin oil, meaning its top priority is to moisturize skin. Most uses for Bio-Oil, however, include minimizing the appearance of stretch marks, reducing hyperpigmentation, and fading scars.
The Smell: Nice and light
I’m very sensitive to scent when it comes to the products I use. It’s not that I prefer products to be unscented, I just don’t want anything to be overpowering, and a well-scented product can make or break my experience with it. That said, I love the scent of the Bio-Oil Skincare Oil. It has a very light floral scent that makes the experience of putting it on soothing and enjoyable.
As much as I like this oil, I have to say that if I was using it for stretch mark prevention versus dabbing a little bit of it on my face twice a day (which is what I did in this case), I would be annoyed by the size. At only 2 ounces, I can see myself going through the Bio-Oil Skincare Oil very quickly. There are bigger sizes available, but even those are a little small for nine long months of pregnancy. That being said, this oil isn’t that expensive, so if you don’t mind replacing it often, go for it.
